The Board Games

It's $10 per person for access to all board games all day! Only $8.50 for adventurers under 12!

For $100 you can be an official member of The Adventurers Guild with a Membership Card, which gets you 6 months of games library time and discounted special events access! It also makes you one of the most respectable people in the village! Adventurers under 12 can have the 6 month membership for $85. :)

The ranks of The Adventurers Guild swell and we strike deadly blows against the darkness (i.e. staying at home all the time in a dark basement but we're sure the basement is very nice etc. etc.)

The Video Games

Lots and lots of retro adventure packed into plastic cartridges! Your $10 per person games pass covers vidya games too! We’d ask you to be kind and let other folks have a turn at the stations after an hour, but if no one else is in line you can keep going with no extra charge!

The Role-Playing Games

Grab one of our classic RPG books and do some adventuring like our fathers and mothers before us: with paper and pen and your wits! Or bring your own books and grab a table and grub. Again, it's $10 per person! If you're the Game Master and have at least 3 other players at your table, you get $13 store credit for the day! Just a little thanks for drawing up all those damn dungeon maps.

Guildmaster Ryan's Current Faves:

Call to Adventure
by Johnny O'Neal and Christopher O'Neal

So there you are - an adventurer in a fantasy world with three cards to start you off: an origin card, a card about your emerging role in history, and a secret destiny card that describes your end. You and up to three others build up and toss handfuls of runes to defeat challenges and draft cards into your character’s heroic journey, building up an engine of runes and abilities. By the end of the game the highest score will win, but everyone must tell the tale of their hero as it was created and reveal what your destinies were - did you defeat the dark lord…OR BECOME THEM. You could easily use the stories that generate as the spring-board for the role playing game of your choice! Lavish art also carries this game high up in Guild esteem.

Lost Ruins of Arnak

by Michal & Min Štach

As a big fan of Indiana Jones this game appeals to me with the power of one thousand cursed idols. You and up to three others are teams of explorers in the 1930s reclaiming the secrets of the island of Arnak, and you plumb these forbidden ruins by exploring sites deep in the jungle, researching the magic in ancient temples, defeating enormous guardian monsters, recruiting assistants for your team, and buying equipment and relics to add to your explorers action deck. The art is fantastic, and the game design is deeply observant: the effects that specific items and actions give you aren’t just fun - their effects make narrative sense based on what the item or action is. When you defeat a guardian that has huge wings in the art you don’t just get a free action or some such - you get to use it like a plane and travel farther into the jungle because you’ve apparently come to an understanding and can ride it. I love when games pay attention to these little details.

Survive! Escape from Atlantis

by Stronghold Games

An oldie but a goodie - get your meeples from the sinking (and exploding) island to safety before their boats are wrecked by whales, before your swimmers are eaten by sharks, by sea monsters, or, worse, before everything is destroyed by the impending and inevitable volcano! This game is the right amount of casual fun, the right amount of luck, and the right amount of marked betrayal as you ruin your opponents chances. It’s real fun to see what horrible fates befall your meeple explorers. The expansions add more sea creatures - dolphins that can rescue your swimmers, and giant squid that can kill whales, trash boats, and pull your meeples from the shore into the sea! Why did we come to this island!?

Scythe
by Jamey Stegmaier

Based on the breath-taking art and world-building of artist Jakub Rozalski, Scythe took the world (via Kickstarter) by storm. And with good reason - it's a fantastic hybrid of some tried and true mechanics. We've got a bit of Catan, a bit of Agricola, a bit of Game of Thrones, and a lot of flavour. It takes place in an alternate 1920s of post WWI diesel-punk patriotism. You control a European faction vying for resources, popular opinion, and military glory. Bonus points for being able to be played solo, since we know that once you get your first taste, you'll want to play it more than your friends will have time for.
